As its name suggests, the Assassin class in Diablo 2 is a beast when it comes to sniping single targets from a distance as well as farming tons of useful resources from the corpses of your enemies. Aside from its usefulness in battle, the Assassin class is also flexible, offering you different ways to take on enemies and take advantage of the Assassin's strengths.

However, this can all be built on even further with the right build for the Assassin class, and that's where this guide comes in. Below we'll walk you through our pick for the best Assasin build in Diablo 2 Resurrected Ladder Season 4, the Fire Blast Assasin build, and break down its gear, skills, mercenary pick, and much more.

Is The Assassin A Good Class

The Assassin class is a great choice for players looking for a beginner-friendly class and versatile play style. Thanks to its synergy bonuses from both Lightning and Fire-based attacks, it can make easy work of most enemies regardless of their immunities, especially Fire Immune monsters which is vital as is our main source of damage, but it does come at a slight cost.

The Assassin class is not great at taking on Great Act bosses and is often weak against high-life targets unless you're getting health buffs from teammates of items. This ultimately makes the glass a bit of a glass cannon, but it can succeed when paired with the right build, and that's where the Fire Blast build comes in.

The Fire Blast Assassin is our pick for the best build as it employs Fire Blast, a powerful explosion attack that also synergizes with lightning damage despite being a fire-based attack. It also uses the Death Sentry to deal damage over distance or over a small area that synergizes to increase your Fire Blast damage.
